Nature lovers appreciate the Poodří Protected Landscape Area. It remains almost untouched by human activity. The wilderness along the Oder River is so unbridled that farming it was impossible. Owing to this, it is a place where one can admire ponds and old river branches, as well as the life of aquatic flora, amphibians, birds, and animals. Visitors looking for history will be hard pressed to find any other locale with as many chateaus and historical towns. The Kunín Chateau is a gem of baroque architecture. The same is true for the town of Fulnek, where one can feel the presence of Comenius, who taught and escaped to exile from here. Suchdol nad Odrou is linked with the fates of the Moravian Brethren, who gradually left to spread their gospel to the world. The estate that is the birthplace of the founder or genetics, Mendel, became the foundation for the museum dedicated to this genius in Hyničice at town of Vražné. Moravské Kravařsko is also Odry, a city that belonged to the bastions of the Hussite armies, or Studénka with its unique Vagonářské muzeum (Wagon Museum). If you like to spend your free time activelly, do not miss the HEIpark sports arena in Tošovice, a sports and adrenaline centre for all generations. Fulnek On the border between Moravia and Silesia, Fulnek is a pearl of baroque architecture. The city has ties to John Amos Comenius, who worked here as the last bishop of the Unity of the Brethren. Today, local residents are proud to call their city home to Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitová. Odry No other city in Moravské Kravařsko has stronger ties to the history of the Hussite movement, and no other city is as proud of it as Odry. The city that unfolds right on the border of Moravia and Silesia—on both sides of the shores of the Oder River—was one of the important bastions of Hussite forces. Jaroslav Hašek, author of the famous novel, The Good Soldier Švejk, backpacked through Odry during his student years. Near Odry you can find the the wooden viewing tower Pohoř. Studénka Chateau The castle complex consists of the originally Renaissance style old chateau and the baroque new chateau, reconstructed with Neo-Gothic elements, surrounded by an English park. Visitors have the chance to discover the history of railway transportation from its beginnings to the present day in the Vagonářské muzeum (Wagon Museum) which is located here. www.vagonarske-muzeum.cz Kunín Chateau Kunín Chateau is proof that the nobility’s residences were not built only for leisure or as an extravagance. Thanks to the local estate, Kunín became a place where local children could go to get an education. The most famous student to have attended the educational institution of Countess Maria Walburga was František Palacký. www.zamek-kunin.cz Větrný mlýn Spálov Windmill The stone structure is labelled the smallest windmill in the Czech Republic. It was built in 1929 by František Baler. There were once seven windmills in the area surrounding Spálov, but one by one, these were transported to other locations, and so suddenly there were no mills left in the area. For this reason Baler decided to build a new mill. The windmill is a part of Pohádkové Poodří (Fairy tale Poodří), which is a draw for excursions to this picturesque area, particularly for young visitors. www.spalov.cz HEIpark Tošovice sports arena In the summer, it serves visitors with things like the mountain coaster, natural swimming area, and golf course. Here, you can try your hand at archery or tubing, as well as other attractions. www.heipark.cz
